More info:


$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.

This behaviour seems correct to me.
http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/lsbrelease.html
says "If no options are given, the -v option is assumed." -v requires
the display of LSB modules, which in Debian/Ubuntu are implemented by
the lsb-* metapackages. If you have none of those installed, then
you'll get the output you quote. However, if you simply say
'lsb_release -a', you'll get the information you asked for. This is in
accordance with the specification for lsb_release. Incidentally, I
believe that you are mistaken about the behaviour in dapper:
(dapper)address@hidden:~$ lsb_release No LSB modules are available.
(dapper)address@hidden:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS Release: 6.06
